What is recorded here

Colp East, Colp West and Mornington formed one settlement cluster in County Meath, yet no visible trace remains to mark where people lived, worked or died. The names preserve the shape of a lost neighbourhood while the earth keeps its own counsel. Perhaps children ran between those places, carried water or watched storms pass over fields now forgotten.
